Somnia, the blockchain that defines scalability and efficiency again, has launched Shannon Testnet, an important milestone on the road to Mainnet. Named after Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, this test network delivers a real-world environment for developers to build fast, scalable and cost-effective blockchain applications.
–
Following the Devnet breakthrough of SOMNIA-1M+ TPS, Subsecond Finality and SubentTransactiekostics-Is Shannon Testnet set to push the blockchain performance even further.
Devnet stress tests saw 3.6 million transactions processed over 300,000+ addresses, which proved the ability of Somnia to handle traffic in the real world.
Now Shannon Testnet is here to stress congestion resistance and to enable developers to build on a scale that has never been seen before.
What’s new in Shannon Testnet?
Larger decentralization-more validators from third parties are live, together with setting up protocols to improve network security.
Increased stability – no more wipes. Developers can build confidently without re -using or re -playing the status.
Enhanced Developer Readiness – The entire infrastructure stack is present, ensuring a seamless development experience.
Ecosystem growth – There are more projects on board the real adoption and test network performance.
The Somnia test network is fully equipped with everything that developers have to build, launch and scales. The most important infrastructure partners are integrated, so that projects can use immediately without waiting for extra tooling.
The technology that Somnia drives
Shannon Testnet is not just a blockchain test network-it is the most advanced test environment available today, powered by advanced innovations:
MultiStream -Consensus: Scales without limits
The breakthrough of Somnia MultiStream Consensus makes parallel transaction version possible, which eliminates network delay. This ensures speed, efficiency and decentralization, even with extreme transaction volumes.
Extra innovations that control performance
Accelerated sequential implementation converts EVM-bytecode in optimized native code, so that single-core performance is maximized.
ICEDB (deterministic database)-a tailor-made blockchain database that reaches reading/writing speeds at nanosecond level.
Advanced compression techniques – reduces the needs of bandwidth through streaming compression algorithms, to support millions of TPs.
Unlock New Blockchain -Use Cases
With immediate transactions and near-zero costs, Somnia opens the door to applications that are previously impossible on blockchain:
Reactive applications-slimme contracts that respond directly to practice data, making real-time gaming, dynamic market places and automated financial services possible.
Fully on-chain gaming games with real-time mechanics, direct transactions and decentralized economies, which eliminates dependence on centralized servers.
Scalable Defi-Protocols high-frequency trade, Instant Swaps and congestive financial infrastructure.
Social platforms and metaverses – scalable, interactive digital worlds that support millions of users.
“Shannon Testnet is proof of a completely future future. With 1m+ TPS, Subsecond Finality and MultiStream consensus, developers can build without limits and millions of users can experience blockchain on real internet scale. “
Paul Thomas, founder of Somnia
What is the following?
Shannon Testnet is an important step in the direction of Mainstet distress. In the coming months, developers will implement applications, optimize and stress tests, while Somnia appeals to his infrastructure for mass acceptance.
